Great beer and even better service. For this being Hobbs, America. You couldn't ask for a better dive. They have an extensive menu and the food is very consistent. If you're looking for a great home cooked meal and great service, you found your spot.

Huge menu to make everyone in your group happy! Great salads and sandwiches but my fave is the Mexican shrimp cocktail. This is a great place for groups or to have a drink after work. They also have a drive through for days that you don't feel like socializing or getting ready to go out. :)

So based on what I've read on yelp I have chosen to sit at the bar. So far so good the beer is ice cold. The owner is on my left so I told the bartender to surprise me for dinner. Let's see what we get......Well friends we got the blackened chicken sandwich with some fries and some onion rings. The food overall was pretty okay although the mushrooms were a little salty for my taste. However, I'm not a real fan of salt. Chicken was tender and just to the point of being done for maximum tenderness and moisture retention. I wish someone in town would make their own pickles. That would be awesome. My rating of 4 stars is based solely on my first visit. I will be back to see what is in store for me next time. My server Becky says that if you show up early evening they run a 2 dollar canned beer special till gone. ( so you know).

Okay, so I'm rating Holidaze on the scale which Hobbs is based... if you're from there or have lived there for more than 6 months, then you understand why I say this. Service can be mixed here. Because we were semi regulars, we always got decent service, but at times they can be super slow. Cocktails are usually served strong. Most of their beer selections are on tap with only a few offered in a bottle. I was stoked to learn that they had Fat Tire. Their prices are somewhat reasonable. The jukebox seems to have the same music it did when I went to high school with only a few additions every now and then. The change machine is usually out of order, so just sweet talk your waitress (usually a waitress, not waiter) for change. The hot water in the women's restroom (and so my husband said in the men's restroom too) really does mean HOT... like if-you're-buzzed-and-forget-to-give-it-some-cold-water-you'll-burn-your-hand hot. I like the low lighting here. The food is usually pretty good, but I tended to stick to just a handful of dishes: 1) super salad with chicken teriyaki with ranch dressing, 2) patty melt with no bacon & fries, or 3) chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and cream gravy, mac and cheese, and ranch dressing on my salad. They use the "homemade style" Ranch dressing, by the way. This is about the only good place in Hobbs to play pool, but some nights we didn't always get a pool table because some people are pool whores. If you keep a tab, beware that they may ask to hold a credit card until you pay your ticket. I think they do this mainly to keep schmucks from walking out without paying, of course. I guess my favorite thing about this restaurant is that it is locally owned and operated. I love to support my local businesses wherever I go. Review #69
